Thanks for the SSCCE. A few extra tips: Remove any fields that aren't
being
used by your example (e.g. "String knownFileName" wasn't being used). In
some cases, this will allow you to remove a few more imports.

Anyway, now that I saw what you were trying to do, I could fix it: Add
the
JScrollBar to the JPanel instead of the JLayeredPane.

Thanks. I tried that but the layout manager put it at the top of the
screen, toolBar style instead of at the edge of the window.

What DID work, finally, was to add setBounds() to the scroll bar. Seems
the default for LayeredPane is to make everything size zero if you
don't specify setBounds();

    Did you actually try running the code I posted? In my code, the
LayeredPane has no idea of the existence of the scroll bar, and thus cannot
affect it at all.

    Oh well, if you fixed it, you fixed it.
